Edit history

Strange Paradise is the debut full length album from Mezzanine. Recorded by renowned producer Dave Parkin (Jebediah, Snowman), the album is the culmination of Mezzanine’s history, distilling the five years of the band’s lifespan into 10 tracks bursting with character and atmosphere. Their classic indie rock influences are worn proudly on their sleeves, and provide power chord heavy foundations for singer Cory Rist’s angst ridden tales of lust and woe. Lead track King Of The Ring finds the band expanding its melodic wings further than ever before, whilst keeping the hooks and grunge that have become their signature front and centre. A nostalgic ode to a washed up pro wrestler, King Of The Ring is instantly memorable and endearingly familiar. The album’s release caps off a busy and fruitful 18 months for Mezzanine, who since releasing their debut EP Vile Horizons in 2012 have toured the nation three times and supported the likes of The Black Angels, Dappled Cities, The Laurels,
